What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates repetitive, manual file management tasks (deprecating, archiving, creating standard directories, updating TODOs) that can lead to inconsistencies and wasted time. It ensures project hygiene and accurate tracking with minimal effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

• File Deprecation & Archiving: Safely move old files to an ARCHIVED/ directory with timestamps, preventing accidental deletion and maintaining historical context.
• Standard Directory Creation: Instantly set up new directories with CLAUDE.md, README.md, and ARCHIVED/ subdirectories, ensuring consistent project structure.
• TODO File Management: Programmatically update task statuses and workflow progress in TODO files, keeping project tracking accurate and effortless.
• Use Case: When refactoring a feature, use deprecate_files.py to archive the old implementation, then directory_structure.py to set up the new feature's planning directory, and todo_updater.py to mark old tasks as complete.
